Highlights of 2019 – 2020

Our re-accreditation of the ‘Green Flag’ award, which Orchard first received in July 2015 was successful this year.  To gain this award the Green Team demonstrated continued success in all areas of the Eco Schools award criteria. The re-accreditation took place in January 2020 and we continue to be the only school in Hackney to have received the award!
